Hi All    I'm in process of deploying applications to Google's container service (GKE - essentially kubernetes).  I need to monitor these containerized applications using Appdynamics, however, I'm not sure what is the best way to approach integrating these applications with appdynamics monitoring, i.e, do I:    a) Build my app container images to include an appdynamics agent? If so, where can I find documentation on this?  b) Stream logs from the docker container to appdynamics?  If so, where can I find documentation on this?   Please note, in the above case I'm interested in the application inside the container, rather than the container metrics itself.   Any documentation for deploying Appdynamics specific to Google's Container Service (GKE) Would be appreciated as well!   Thanks, T.             ...

Hi    There seems to be very little information on the Internet or Appdynamics documentation on troubleshooting agent registration issues. I'm trying to register a new server agent on Linux with Appdynamics  I get a very obscure registration error when running the agent:   --- [UriConfigPoller] 20 Apr 2017 10:57:21,118 DEBUG UriConfigProvider - Checking uri file:/opt/appdynamics/conf/ to see if it is readable.

Past forum posts seem to yield low quality answers.     More complete debug log dump as follows:   ---- [UriConfigPoller] 20 Apr 2017 10:56:51,117 DEBUG UriConfigProvider - Checking uri file:/opt/appdynamics/conf/logging/log4j.xml to see if it is readable.
